Good Morning. Well it sure is a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature waking up was sitting at -30.3 C | -22.54 F at 5:28 AM. For the first time in a long time, I left our car plugged in all night. It is good for minus -35 F, but I figured just in case. We didn’t have any snow overnight, which is a good thing, as it would be too cold to go out to clean things up. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good, that is if you want to bear the cold. For my wife and I, we are going to stay inside where it is warm. We both aren’t feeling up to par yet since we had the Moderna booster shot for some reason. At any rate, not much we can do other than wait it out, I suppose. On another note, we are having a few Blue Jays and some Morning Doves visit our bird feeder these days. We usually have some Nuthatches and Chickadees, but haven’t seen too many. We haven’t seen many woodpeckers, neither. With that, I am off for a bowl of warm cereal and will then see what the day has in store. I am not sure what I will be doing today. See how I feel later on. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature waking up was sitting at -16.9 C | 1.58 F. On top of the cold, we also had around 8 inches of snow yesterday and overnight. We are still having flurries this morning. Highway 522 is totally snow covered with lots of icy sections throughout. So care will have to be taken if out and about. My lovely wife and I will be staying put. Once the snow stops, we will get at cleaning our driveway and decks. Yesterday, figuring we would be in for a lot of snow, I put my snowblower in where its warm. Now it will be all set to go. The warmth makes it easier to start and saves the motor. I also managed to write up another story yesterday and will probably work on another today. But in saying that, it is becoming challenging these days trying to figure out things to write about. As after 2000 stories or so, there isn’t much I haven’t written about. With that, I am off for a bagel this morning and will then see what mischief I can get into. That is what men are supposed to do. Right? Take care and stay safe. It’s not looking good out there these days, with this crazy virus.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We didn’t have any snow overnight, but we will have our share throughout the day, which could amount to around 4 inches or so. It is snowing now. Highway 522 is mostly snow covered and I suspect it will remain that way today and into tomorrow. Which will make travelling not so good. I would recommend staying home. And it might be a good thing with the way this virus is spreading. I see a lot of places are closing up for a spell once again, which in my mind is a good thing as we have to at the very least slow it down. If not, the consequences won’t be good. My wife and I have gone back to ordering things online like groceries. It is easy to do and saves us having to go into the stores. In some ways, I prefer doing it that way. Yesterday I worked away on a couple stories I had in mind for my newspaper columns and got them looked after. Today I will do much the same. I have been keeping my shop stove going so if the urge hits I have a cozy place to work. With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal this morning and will then see where the day takes me. Take care, stay safe and most importantly wear a good mask. GW

Good Morning. It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. However, it has warmed up a lot, which is really nice. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -3.5 C | 25.7 F. It will remain there for most of the day. Late today and into tomorrow and Thursday, we could see another round of snow. Possibly 6 inches or so. Depends on which way it tracks. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those having to go to town or ?? If you do go anywhere, I would suggest you take extra precautions with this virus being so infectious. Yesterday I worked on a story or two for my columns in the newspapers. Today I will do much the same. So that’s about it for today. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy, cool morning here in Port Loring. The temperatures have risen through the night and now sitting at -16.4 C | 2.48 F. It did however go down below freezing early this morning. But no complaints coming from me so far this year, as I don’t care for the real cold much anymore. Highway 522 is bare and dry here in town, with a few icy sections in both directions outside of town. So care should be taken if you’re heading off to the big cities. On another note, my old woodworking shop has nicely warmed up now, so I might get to doing some work out there in the coming days. Today though I will be working away on some computer things that I started which will keep me busy for most of the day. My wife and I had our booster shot before Christmas, so that made us feel a bit down for a week or so. But things are pretty well back to normal now. Price a person pays to stay out of the hospital these days. I think, that the booster shot bothered us both a wee bit was because the first two, we had were Pfizer, and the booster shots were Moderna. We were hoping for the Pfizer, but the day we booked it for only had the Moderna. So after talking to our very good doctor friend, we went ahead and got it. At any rate it is done LOL. With that I am off for some waffles that my lovely wife is making me and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW
